This is the first record I bought. I bought it from an old friend Trevor Harley who I began work with and who also, later became Manager at the Torch. Homer Banks was primarily a song writer for Stax, but as the discography says also one hell of a singer. The other side of the record, "A lot of Love", was one of the songs he wrote, and was also covered a few years ago by Mick Hucknall.
"60 Minutes of Your Love" is in the same vein. Not one of the more up-tempo Northern Sounds, but distinctively a Northern foot stomper that conveys all the gritty soulful, brassy sounds of the genre.
